This is a Verbotomy Classic, but I have changed the settings so that all players can create a new word for today's challenge. ~ James
Based on yesterday's suggestions I would like to go back to single Verbotomy. Since I can't do new comics next week, we can choose to either do the Classics (oldies) or new ones without a cartoon i.e "Text". Please post your preference here. Are you for the Classics? Or for the new ones without a comic? ~ James

Well, personally I love the comics, but given the fact that there are already so many words, and the fact that the new words don't always show up where they're meant to, I'm voting "text." This is no slight to you, of course, James... it must be an awful lot to keep up with, and systems are made to be buggy.
The thing is that I introduce the bugs when I try to make things complicated -- like doing a Double Verbotomy. Either way, once things are settled, I'm confident we will be bug-free, or at least all the bugs we offer will be described as features. ~ James

I vote for text next week - perhaps it's a tiny bit selfish because some of us (myself included)haven't gotten any points for the classic definitions we've created.

Text is fine by me.
